Youth Shin Guards

One of the worst places to get hit is in the shins. So protect yourself with the best youth shin pads at Pure Hockey. This is the area where a LOT of contact is happening from sticks and pucks - don't skimp on shin pads, because it will catch up with you. All shin pads will give you a very good level of basic protection. At the youth level, make sure you know the fit you need - if the shin pads are too long, skates will push them up and potentially put the knee at risk. Too short and you risk exposure to the ankles. Don't just give a youth player hand-me-downs if they don't fit properly. For further information, see our guide to fitting shin pads.
